Biography: Isaiah was born to Pastor Jacob Garvey and his wife Josephine in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jacob, as a creationist Pastor of a Baptist Church, brought up his son by the book. With the full support of his wife they brought Isaiah up from a young age to fear God and love Jesus. His childhood was happy, and he was very lucky to live with his middle class parents in New Orleans.

In his early years, Isaiah showed promise in the toned-down versions of baseball played kindergarten. He grew up a happy and friendly child, making many friends with the children of the exclusively black congregation that his father ministered. After initially struggling with reading, Isaiah overcame his difficulties and became an avid reader, moving to more challenging books and catching up with his peers at the age of 9.

Jacob, however, took a disinterest in his son's sporting career believing that his son would be trapped into a sinful life of fornication, adultery, corruption and greed. He had great dreams for his son: to be a senator, or a pastor like himself. Jacob wanted to relive his life through Isaiah and this weakness started having an effect.

His father's paranoia and lack of attention pressured him into reading about black history, biblical theology and creation science. Eager to impress the father he had a lack of contact with, Isaiah read and studied these subjects from the age of 11 onwards. Greedy for attention, he honed his baseball skills with a bat to a very high standard letting his fielding and catching skill slip to a poor level. It was all in vain, however, as his father would never respect him for being a baseball player.

However, before his first baseball tournament his father was given the opportunity to spread his ministry to culturally diverse city of St. Paul, Minnesota to spread the word. His father jumped at the opportunity and the family moved in a very short period, causing the painful severing of many of Isaiah's strong relationships on the face to face level.

After the move, Isaiah had a small period of rebellion where he refused to attend church and spent time out of the house after dark. The rebellions were very small scale and the disappointment of his father brought Isaiah back into line. Thankfully, Isaiah’s charisma drew new friends to him, allowing him to partially replace the friends from New Orleans he’d lost.

His time at Bayview Secondary was another happy period in his life where he learned to play basketball for fun, refusing to commit to any other sports team but baseball. However, the high school sprinting coach encouraged him to compete in sprinting trials where he finished 4th, narrowly missing a chance to race at county level. A series of victories at the secondary school level cemented the hobby into his weekly routine where he slowly improved. During this time, Isaiah also slackened his moral belt allowing himself to drink alcohol and party behind his father’s back without going what he considered too far.

His academic studies dramaticly improved and he won several small essay competitions on politics and Christian theology which his father encouraged and tutored him on. This bonding with his father gave him an inner fulfilment and released him from the burden of his father's opinion. The interests stayed with him as his scholastic career continued.

However, during this time, his father had met several racist members of the St Paul who smeared the true image of the city from Jacob's viewpoint. This resentment for white people was spread to his son through sly comments and disapproval at Isaiah’s few white friends. Isaiah slowly grew distrustful of his white peers and this paranoia prevented him from making any further friends.

Baseball dominated much of his school career but in the back of his mind he knew that if he didn’t make it professionally he could find his way in life as a Senator, as a history teacher or follow his old man’s steps and become a Pastor.

Advantages: Isaiah is skilled with a baseball bat, a confident and charismatic leader, and looks like more trouble than he actually is. He has been educated in the strict Christian moral code that should prevent him from doing anything completely immoral.

Disadvantages: Isaiah is distrustful of white people and believes they see themselves as superior. His morality has never been tested. Isaiah tends to quote the Bible a lot when a moral subject comes up.

Designated Number: Male student no. 111

Conclusion: I'd make a black joke, but that's in bad taste, even for me. Or I just can't think of one. I mean...water balloons? Really? Ugh, should have given him the baseball bat B110 got.
